iCloud Password

Hi...
Every time I switch on my computer I get a pop-up message telling me to enter my iCloud password, but I didn't even know that I have an iCloud password! I have entered just about every password I have ever used for other things but none of them work. Also, I always get this message twice, when I eventually have to click on cancel, it pops up a second time a few seconds later, which I have to cancel as well. Can anyone tell me where I would find the iCloud password, or how I can change it, or even request a new one...?

Thanks very much Cory for your fast response... I do have an Apple ID password, which I tried but it doesn't work. I then remembered that some time ago I changed my password so I tried the old one but that didn't work either. This is why I'm puzzled... my Apple ID password is current and I use it all the time... as I said, I've tried every password that I've ever used, just in case I used one of those for iCloud, but no success...

Hi Cory...
Yes, I checked and I do have an iCloud account and everything backs up to it but, the problem is, I haven't forgotten my Apple ID, I use it all the time but, when I receive that pop-up message it doesn't accept it as my iCloud password... and I can't seem to find any way of finding out what the real password is... it's certainly not my Apple ID password. Is there a way in iCloud settings to get a new password, I can't see a 'forgotten password' option...?

Hi Cory... I think I'm going to give up with this! I did as you suggested and went into the iCloud settings and entered my apple ID there and it worked! I was able to open everything up and check my settings, etc. but, I always close the computer down overnight and, this morning when I switched on again... there's that same message... twice as usual. I haven't tried the 'asking for password' link that you sent yet, so I'll give that a go and see what happens... thanks for all your help so far! Cheers, John
